It was a total disgrace.

12, you're perfectly a-okay. I understand that stuff like this comes up and it's not always easy. I respect how you've managed to survive with all these struggles in the background, and I deeply appreciate your concern with us. But really, you haven't done anything wrong. I'm so glad things have been working out for you nonetheless, and at least I have plans to visit come winter break (I'm in Racine for the weekend, but I dunno how much I'll be able to visit people). You're doing fine, and you're a strong young lad. Just keep bein' strong and you'll go far. You're in my thoughts.

Maxjes, Light Bear, FeearlesLeader, Zero, I know I haven't exactly earned it, but hear me out here: I'm really sorry I haven't stayed in touch, I feel terrible about it. So, I figure I at least owe you an apology and an explanation. the last time most of you heard from me was the early summer, when I said I'd be gone for a few weeks but be back in July. Before I could return, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. A week after that, I was diagnosed with Mono, which I'm just now recovering from. Between my own trips to the hospital, my mom's treatment and surgery, trying desperately to cath up what I missed the first basically 2 months of school, the fall play, and my attempt at recovery with a few relapses, I've sort of fallen out of touch with....well, the world. But my mom's in radiation therapy right now, and has a 97% cure rate, which we're all grateful for. I'm still struggling, but getting somewhat better. The fall play is ending next week.

Sorry, I ran out of characters, continuing: Hopefully, although I still won't be around as much, I'll actually be able to talk to you all, to talk to people in general. Fact of the matter is? I miss you guys every day. I can't tell you how many times I've thought of something you'd love, turn to tell it to one of you, and realize you're gone all over again. I'm so sorry I've been so distant. If you can forgive my abscence...well, I'd really like to not be absent anymore. I don't know if I ever told you, although I probably did on the last day of school, but...you're all really good friends. The best of the best. However you feel about me after my sudden dissappearance, that much is true.

Made ETF group player of the week because you all suck and she plays with me more.

Now if I were player of the week, it'd be different...

Yep.avi
